Question

How do I request a song on the radio?

Community Answer

You can start by looking up the phone number for the radio station you want to call. Once you have the number, you can call at any time to request a song, but it might be awhile before they get around to playing it.

Question

Does it count against me as a win if I don't pick up the tickets?

Community Answer

The radio station usually has a program that tracks winners and doesn't keep track of whether they pick them up or not. It will likely count against your winning. However, many stations only restrict you from winning the same prize twice in a 30 day period, so it may not matter. Research the station's rules to find out.

Question

What happens if I say the wrong station name to the DJ asking what my favorite station is?

Community Answer

That would be very awkward and you might not win whatever they're giving away. If you're afraid you'll forget what to say, write it down first.

Question

I was just featured on the radio to win tickets to Seaworld. Do I have to pick them up or will they send them to me?

Community Answer

If you called in to win, they should have explained the details, but I wouldn't assume that they're in the mail. When I won tickets to a concert, they just put my tickets at Will Call under my name. It's very possible that yours would be "reserved" for you at Seaworld, possibly with an expiration date. I'd call the DJ/station if a quick call to Seaworld didn't answer my question.

Question

What is the latest I can pick up my winning concert tickets from a radio station?

Community Answer

It depends on the station. Call and ask them for details, or check the contest's rules on the station's website.

Question

My number is registered in the same city the radio contest is in; however, when I try to call in from out of town, I get a busy tone even when the contest isn't on. Can radio stations tell where a call is coming from, regardless if the number is local?

Community Answer

No, it doesn't matter where your phone is registered or if the phone number has a different area code. It is against FCC regulations for radio station contest lines to have caller ID to keep the contests fair. All the DJ sees in the studio is a board with a series of flashing lights under "line 1", "line 2", etc.

Question

When I dial the radio station's number, regardless of how many times I ring, I get "your call cannot be completed as dialed." Why is that? I used to be able to get through with just a busy signal sometimes.

Community Answer

That error means you incorrectly dialed the number. Check to make sure they didn't change their number or that you haven't accidentally entered it wrong in your excitement to get through quickly.
